The Undefeated General of Han, Han Xin.

Han Xin's situation needs a lot of context to properly understand. First, the Han faction had a very weak position after the 18 kingdom partition in 206. Liu Bang was given only 30,000 soldiers from the rebel armies and their situation was so bad that scores of officers deserted in the first few months, viewing their situation as effectively a hopeless exile in a frontier land (the Han troops were from eastern China). This deteriorating situation is likely a reason for Xiao He and Liu Bang being willing to gamble on promoting an unknown and unproven grunt in Han Xin to commander-in-chief.

These were his most impressive achievement yet, here are some details below.

Han Xin was prompty given 30,000 soldiers who had poor equipment, little to no experience at war or combat at all along with low morale. There was little time for training of this army, as Han Xin attacked Guanzhong within a few months of the Han arriving in Hanzhong. Guanzhong is notoriously difficult to invade from the south; based on the amount of work put into the gallery roads across the Qinling Mountains, it is at minimum at least as hard as Hannibal attacking across the Alps. However, unlike Hannibal, Han Xin had to face a ready, experienced and well equipped army the moment he crossed into Guanzhong: Guanzhong was ruled by the most competent non-Xiang Yu general of the era in Zhang Han (and his two former subordinates). The conquest of Guanzhong is much more difficult to piece together because there are sparse details spread out through various Shiji biographies from Han Xin to Liu Bang, Fan Kuai, Cao Shen etc. Hing Ming Hung offers a reasonable reconstruction of the complex series operations, and there's probably better works in Chinese I'm not aware of. It's too complex to get into here, but Han Xin's army movements of dispersal and concentration, with feints and blockading forces against multiple armies was just as advanced as Napoleon and it was just 2000 years ago.

A second important part to understand is that after the capture of Guanzhong and Central China while Xiang Yu was tied down in Qi, the Han coalition had total initiative and momentum. However, this was entirely thrown away in the battle of Pengcheng, where allegedly a 560,000 man army was defeated by surprise, with enough corpses in one sector of the battle to dam the Sui River. Han Xin was attacking the remaining forces of Zhang Han in Feiqiu, and Liu Bang was unanimously blamed for the catastrophe. Hilariously enough

King's War, a series that shows the fall of the Qin Dynasty and how the Han Dynasty was founded. The series focus on how Liu Bang rose from a farmer to an Emperor as he gains important allies like Xiao He, Zhang Liang and Han Xin. If you watch Three Kingdom 2010, you will recognise the actors.

##Biography

Xin Han, born into a nobility caste family, in the city of Huiji four-and-thirty years ago in the year of the Indigo Spider that Poisons Pearl. His father, Xin Sol, was the Jiangjun of the Legion of the Crawling Mantis; an elite force that was sent to subdue the hordes of the horsemen that were brave enough to attempt to plunder the Salt Road. His mother, Jiang Ki, was the daughter of a wealthy merchant who dealt in silks and salts along the salt road, and had a rather large and healthy presence in Trader Town; the primary route of land trade with the Golden Empire.

Since his birth, Xin Han was taught the ways of leadership by his father. Xin Sol knew that it was destined his son would take his place as Jiangjun of the Crawling Mantis'. In the yard he'd train with his practice swords from the ripe age of four, with his father's supervision and the assistance of Jiang Ko, the brother of Xin's mother who also happened to be the TongJun of the Crawling Mantis' (or, the second in charge).

At four and ten, Xin enlisted in the military, and was assigned into his father's legion. Be it as a result of nepotism or not, Xin, deservedly, rose through the ranks from recruit to Shuzhu meteorically. By the age of eight and ten, Xin Han had command over one thousand men. At twenty, Xin was promoted to Chuangzhu (or, detachment commander). About a moon after his promotion, he was sent north of Trader Town to deal with an incursion led by the Qartheen. In a fortress quickly constructed by Xin and his men, Xin was fortified until they were able to be relieved by the remaining legion. His father arrived just in time, striking down the Qartheen with ease.

Since then, Xin joined his father on many incursions against the Qartheen invaders and the tribesmen of the Jogos Nhai. His father soon after bestowed the title of Jinzhou (or, Colonel) upon him, skipping over three ranks. While this move was highly criticized by many in the legion, none dared speak against the Jiangjun, nor his family, for the treatment he gave them was far more favorable than other legions.

Any English book on the great general Han Xin?

Hi,

I just finished watching the series "King's war" or "Legend of Chu and Han" on Netflix. I became a fan of General Han Xin(Spoiler alert: Don't read wiki if you intend to watch the series. The war scenes are pretty bad with repetitive CGI, but you get a good understanding of the events)

I searched amazon and couldn't find a good book in English. I would love any suggestions on this legendary guy.

Off topic, but it's amazing how strategy was so advanced and developed by 220 BC, like 2000 years ago. Thanks
